Passport photo in the referee declaration form

Dear members,

I am a Turkish citizen and have ILR status. I will apply for the citizenship soon. After I got ILR status, my passport was not stamped when I entered the UK several times. Unfirtunately, I do not have boarding cards with me for some of these trips. How can I prove my absences with a couple of missing entry stamps in my passport? If I submit P60s, payslips and council tax bills, would this be enough?

If you can advise I appreciate

Regards

A couple of missing stamps are unlikely to be a problem, if you can remember the dates of your trips. If you really want to submit further evidence, don't submit bills. P60s/employment letters that cover the period will be enough.

Dear all,

I am applying for British citizenship and in the application form, there is a question like that "Do you have a previous visa, entry clearance or leave to remain where you had to prove your knowledge of English?"

When I came to the UK first time with Tier-4 student visa, my college in the UK recognized my knowledge of English (as the language of education in my home country was English). Upon graduation, I got a Tier-2 visa and I proved my english because of a recognized UK master's degree. After several years, I changed job and got Skilled worker visa (with the same proof of language) and I got ILR status with that UK diploma again.

For the naturalisation, should I put my latest visa application (ILR) in the box or all of previous visas?

Separately, do I need to provide unique visa application number for these application/applications or should I just state the name of my visa?

If you can advise, I appreciate

Regards

Provide details of the UK recognised masters' degree.

Separately, do I need to provide unique visa application number for these application/applications or should I just state the name of my visa? Provide the URN.

Dear members,

I am going to apply for British Citizenship soon and I have one professional referee who is working as Director in a very well-known financial services company (not a bank). My second referee is British citizen and over 25 (hence there is no issue)

Bank or building society officials are listed as acceptable but I am not sure about a financial services company.

His title is Director though. Can this person be considered acceptable referee as a "director, manager or personnel officer of a VAT registered company"?

If you can advise, much appreciated, regards

Should be ok, financial services companies are normally VAT registered.

Dear members,

This may be an easy question but can someone please advise what 'Passport photo' refers to in the Referee Declaration form?

https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... on_MN1.pdf

I have an existing passport from my home country and the photo in that passport is more than 1 year old.

Does 'passport photo' in the referee form refer to that photo on my home country passport, or do I need to use a more recent photo (which would be different than my current passport photo)?

If you can advise, I appreciate, thanks

A passport size recent photo - not the same one you have on your passport.

thank you for your answer. But this person is a Director of a unit in a global company. Does 'Director' refer to very top level manager and/or owner of a business in citizenship application, or is Director title for managers of a unit/department in a global company accepted?

That should be fine.

Dear members,

I submitted online citizenship aplication and booked biometrics appointment. What is the deadline for submission of documents? Can we submit anytime before the appointment or is there a specific deadline?

Deadline is normally 48 hours before biometrics appointment.
